Ready the hype engines. Set your expectations to their loftiest, for Nintendo Power is tormenting early subscribers of the mag with a forthcoming reveal of a "huge new title" to debut right around E3 2010.

"Next issue's going to be a big one," teases the Nintendo focused mag. "In addition to an exclusive cover story on a huge new title, we'll bring you first looks of half a dozen incredible games, including de Blob 2 and an astonishing title that stars one of gaming's most recognizable heroes."

Sure, we know that THQ is keen to squeeze more success out of de Blob, so a sequel doesn't surprise us. But what would Nintendo Power have on its hands? And who would you consider "one of gaming's most recognizable heroes"?
